KANSAS CITY - Kansas City Public Works will close I-670 on the south side of the Downtown Loop from 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, through 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 21 for girder placement at the new Main Street Bridge.

The closure will detour I-670 traffic to the west, north and east sides of the Downtown Loop. The ramps from Broadway to eastbound I-670, from northbound and southbound Route 71 to westbound I-670 and from northbound and southbound I-35 to eastbound I-670 will be closed during this weekend work.

From Monday, Oct. 21, through Nov. 4, the right lanes of both eastbound and westbound I-670 near the Main Street Bridge will be closed at times for bridge work. The new Main Street Bridge, a Kansas City Public Works project, is expected to be completed by early November.
